The new car has been derived from the 2007 Concept-cX and will spearhead a strategic shift for Mitsubishi which wants to focus on smaller passenger cars and crossovers.

The new model will go on sale in Japan from February and it will get its first European showing at the Geneva Motor Show in March.

There’s no word on whether this new model will feature alternative fuelling technology, but Mitsubishi said it would follow on from the electric i-Miev in showing off innovative future technology.
